Am I overfeeding my cat?

by Belle

I have a 9-month-old neutered male cat that I picked up off the streets. Currently, he looks like his head is really small compared to his body, and the last time he got weighed (about a month ago) he was 3.9 kg.

I have been feeding him less to maybe get him back to proportional size, but I'm afraid that I'm not feeding him enough.

For the past couple of months, I have been feeding him only a handful of kibble (half a cup?) a day and he STILL looks disproportionate.

He's always super eager during feeding time that I think he's starving! :( I feed him twice a day: about 1/4 cup each time, sometimes 4 times a day, 1/8 cup each time.
